If you have the 10.5″ images that would be great. The triangle that I have it about 13″ on the long side 12″ on the vertical side.. I can always index the scale from a known point and go from there.

I am thinking that I might laminate it… for durability. What did you use to stick the scale on to the triangle?

I’m busy right now but I’ll try to get to it ASAP

I used Scotch double sided poster tape and then put a layer of Scotch satin gift wrap tape over the top, it worked great. I cut the paper rule to match the width of the tape.

I thought about laminating it but took the easy way out, too lazy to drag out the laminator. 😉

Larry,
Thanks. I got them downloaded.
Are they supposed to stop at 9 inches?

I was working with am eight inch triangle, so I cropped them. Sorry, if you need bigger I could make a set of 10.5″.

I hear ya about Photobucket, it’s not like I have anything against them, it is me that is the problem. In my old age I forget where I put things and OCD… I like all my ducks in one basket. :silly:

Hmmm.
Maybe I can talk you into sending me the file??
🙂

No Problemo, in fact while you were posting I was trying to figure out where I had put them.

It seems like there is a snag in how the forum software works with DropBox because I tried to click the above photos thinking they would take me to the DropBox originals but instead I get a white box. It appears the forum software is trying to use lightbox or something similar and it has a problem with Dropbox?

Anyway I’m going to try putting a direct link to the DropBox files and see how that works.

I may have to sign up with PhotoBucket after all, not too excited about that. 🙁 :woohoo:

Great idea Larry…

Where did you find the scale for the larger triangle?

Welcome!

Thanks for the warm welcome guys. 🙂

Phil, I just scanned a cutting rule and taped it onto the triangle. I pulled the scan into PaintShop Pro to flip the image and rearrange the numbers so they would be in the proper orientation on the right side of the triangle.

Thanks Curtis, I have a ton on my plate but I’m trying to get out more often. :cheer:

The blade is a Spyderco Chicago that I just finished with an acid etch and stonewash. It was in parts and I figured being the blade is only 2″ I would be wise to do it blade only. I’m not sure I could even get the tip right if it were assembled. I’ll have to pop it in the vise and look see.

Thanks Mark, I had all but given up. I had moved the files three times and after reading your post I gave it one more try. I moved them to the public folder it worked.

High-Five!
